The GefenTV Wireless for HDMI The GefenTV Wireless for HDMI 60 GHz Extender delivers a plug-and-play wireless solution for HDMI sources placed up to 30 feet (9 meters) away. Hi-def resolutions of up to 1080p/60 fps are supported with 8-channel embedded digital audio. The GefenTV Wireless for HDMI 60 GHz Extender is a wireless solution for extending any HDMI A/V sources to a remote HDMI-compliant display such as satellite boxes, DVD players, and Blu-Ray players. The Wireless for HDMI 60 GHz operates best in open indoor spaces with minimum obstructions between the Sender and Receiver units. Range will be signifi cantly reduced otherwise. How It Works INTRODUCTION The GefenTV Wireless for HDMI 60 GHz Extender uses one Sender and one Receiver unit. A short cable connects the HDMI input of the Sender unit to the HDMI output of an HDMI source. At the display side, a short cable connects the HDMI output of the Receiver unit to the HDMI input of the HDTV display. Power is applied to the Sender and Receiver. There is a slight pause while the Sender and Receiver locate each other and begin communicating. The HDMI signal from the HDMI source then travels to the HDMI display over 60 GHz radio waves and a vibrant and crisp High Definition picture emerges on the HDTV display. Indicator lights on the front panels of both units assist in troubleshooting should there be objects in the path of the radio waves or other problems to resolve. Note on Multichannel Audio: Compressed audio as well as analog audio are formats supported depending on the capability of the input device. Please refer to the Specifi cations section for further details. 1

Sender and Receiver should be oriented in a visually unobstructed, line-ofsight path without objects between them, at the same height as each other, preferably in a wide open indoor area with tall ceilings. 4. Connect the included 12V power supplies to the Wireless HD 60 GHz Sender and Receiver units. Power on the display device (monitor or projector). 5. Switch on the Receiver and Sender units. Automatic pairing (linkup) will begin. The units will search for each other, and four (4) LED indicators on the front right hand panel of the units will indicate operational status as follows (Please see diagram on the bottom of page 6, opposite): LINK: OFF (connection failed, try again), ON (connection good), BLINKING (waiting for link completion) WEAK: OFF (no signal), ON (wireless signal is weak) STRONG: OFF (weak signal), ON (wireless signal is strong) POWER: OFF (power off), ON (unit ON), BLINKING (unit sleeping) *If 4 LEDs blink at once despite multiple power ON/OFF attempts, do not continue operation. Please call Gefen Technical Support at 1-800-545-6900. If a pairing operation does not commence and/or the WEAK LED stays on, the units must be relocated for better signal reception.

REMOTE CONTROL The included remote control has two buttons on it, one labelled HDMI and one labelled SLEEP. Only the SLEEP button functions on the Wireless for HDMI 60 GHz. Its purpose is to put the Wireless for HDMI 60 GHz system into standby mode so that it can be kept ready for use at any time without consuming a significant amount of electrical power. To use the SLEEP function, aim the remote at either the Sender or Receiver and press the SLEEP button on the remote to place the units into a standby mode. During this time the Power LEDs on both units will flash to confi rm that SLEEP mode is active. To re-activate the Wireless for HDMI 60 GHz system, press the SLEEP button again. The remote control runs off of a single CR2032 battery (included). To change the battery, push in the retaining clip inward from the side rear of the remote while simultaneously pulling the battery containment sleeve out of the rear of the remote. Note the positive orientation of the battery facing upwards. Replace with an identical type of battery in the same orientation. When operating the remote control for the fi rst time, please remove the protective acetate plastic sheet inserted between the circuit board and the battery. This insert keeps the battery from prematurely discharging in transit. Battery Compartment 8
